The only net in place is there for safety (and almost always works). In football, the one time someone might get a ball, they draw up a net and hold onto it.

Tue, 06 Aug 2013 20:54:20 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=490301#comment-551482There was a time when I would have been annoyed by a kid climbing all over me at a ball game. Growing up and having crazy kids of your own tends to change that. It sounds like this Mystery guy did a little growing up before most, Kudos to him! Kinda crazy that he would spend money on a ball of his own, but good for him.

Tue, 06 Aug 2013 20:44:58 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=490301#comment-551472Myself and a few friends were at a matinee Nats game in 2012. A ball bounced right into the hands of the friend to my right. I think it took him two seconds to find a kid to give the ball to. It’s just what you do when you reach a certain age.

This biggest part of this story is the impact the act of kindness had on the family, the gratitude of the mom and the excitement felt by the boy who received the ball. Maybe some of those ball hawks, though a bit overzealous, want to give their kid the same experience. It’s just another one of those things that makes baseball a little different from the other sports.

This kid will never forget the day he came home with a baseball from a major league ballpark.

Tue, 06 Aug 2013 19:55:10 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=490301#comment-551422What an awesome young man. He really went out of his way to make those kids happy. I remember as a kid that getting a ball was my biggest goal at a ballgame. It was a goal I never reached until I was about 20 years old. I was happy to finally get a ball at an MLB game, but I couldn’t help but give it to the little boy with a longing look in his eyes, because I remember being the same way.

A lot of people don’t seem to realize that small gestures like that mean the world to kids, but this Brewers fan got it. Hats off to you, sir!
